DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a vehicle body seal structure for an open car, and more particularly to a seal structure for an opening / closing part such as a rear roof.

(Prior Art) In an automobile having a so-called hard roof, a structure in which a roof is detachably attached has been used so far in addition to a normal "closed" form in which a roof right above is covered with a roof. There is known a vehicle body structure that can also take the form of a "Targa" whose upper part is open. further,
As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-61334, the rear roof that covers the latter half of the upper part of the passenger compartment has a structure that can be rotated rearward to a predetermined storage position, and the roof is interlocked with this rotation. There is also known a vehicle body structure in which a "closed" structure and a "full open" structure can be formed by making the structure of the vehicle body storable.

In an automobile whose rear roof is rotatable rearward, that is, in an open car, an opening for preventing interference with the vehicle body during rotation of the rear roof is generally provided on the rear side of the center of rotation of the rear roof. The opening is formed between the rear roof and the vehicle body, and the opening is covered by a deck cover that is supported by the vehicle body so as to be retractable to a position deviating from the turning trajectory of the rear roof.
Therefore, in such an open car, seal members are provided between the rear roof and the deck cover and between the vehicle body and the deck cover, respectively, and thereby seal the inside and outside of the vehicle at the opening portion.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, depending on the vehicle body structure of the open car, the lower end portion of the rear roof may be extended to the front of the center of rotation thereof. With only the seal, it is impossible to seal the inside and outside of the vehicle in the extended portion.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and reliably seals the inside and outside of a vehicle even when the lower end of the rear roof extends forward of the center of rotation. An object of the present invention is to provide a car body seal structure for an open car that can be used.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A car body seal structure for an open car according to the present invention is provided to cover a rear half of an upper part of a passenger compartment, and is a rear roof rotatably supported by a car body to a predetermined storage position. And supported by the vehicle body so as to close the opening between the rear roof and the vehicle body formed on the rear side of the center of rotation of the rear roof,
At the time of this backward rotation, a front cover lower end portion is displaced upward with respect to the center of rotation, and a deck cover configured so that the rear lower end portion is displaced downward. It is provided on the car body along the edge of the car body opening,
A first seal member that seals between the rear roof and the vehicle body on the front side of the rotation center of the rear roof, and seals between the deck cover and the vehicle body from the rotation center of the side rear roof to the rear side; A second seal member is provided on the rear roof along an edge of the rear roof located on the rear side of the center of rotation, and the second seal member seals between the rear roof and the deck cover.

(Operation) As shown in the above configuration, when sealing the lower end portion of the rear roof whose displacement direction at the time of rotation differs before and after the center of rotation, the lower end portion on the front side of the rotation center is rotated at the time of forward rotation of the rear roof. The lower end portion of the vehicle body comes into contact with the first seal member provided on the vehicle body from above the vehicle, and the lower end portion on the rear side of the rotation center is provided on the lower end portion when the rear roof is rotated forward. By contacting the deck cover from below the vehicle, the lower end of the rear roof is sealed around the center of rotation.

In this way, by making the dividing points of the first and second sealing members coincide with the center of rotation, it is possible to efficiently and reliably achieve sealing between the rear roof and the vehicle body and between the rear roof and the deck cover.

Further, the seal between the deck cover and the vehicle body on the rear side of the center of rotation of the rear roof is performed by the first seal member, whereby the inside and outside of the vehicle can be reliably sealed as a whole.

(Effects of the Invention) Therefore, according to the present invention, even when the lower end portion of the rear roof is extended to the front of the center of rotation, the rear roof, the deck cover, and the inside and outside of the vehicle between the vehicle body. The seal can be surely performed.
